Recently I have been listening to many tribute CD's that are hard to categorize...............here's a few examples......Do you have any good ones?.....Is there another thread this should be on?1. The String Quartet Plays Jimi Hendrix2. The String Quartet Plays Black Sabbath3. Taliesin - Anthem1. Another Brick In The Wall2. Bohemian Rhapsody3. I Want To Know What Love Is4. Secret World5. Layla (Prologue)6. Layla7. Hey, Jude8. Living Years, The9. We Don't Need Another Hero10. Wrapped Around Your Finger>> also 4 originals on another CD.................................................

I have not heard that one. I have many more tribute CD's that I have not listed yet. I also have a set of CD's from an English 'cover band' that is really good. I will post them with pics and descriptions later..........They are called "CrossCut Saw"

There are a couple of Rush string quartet albums - one with 2112 transcribed (although local Rush pundit Tony R, wasn't impressed). Rather excellent and critically acclaimed Mahavishnu Orchestra album by the Radio String Quartet last year (on the German label ACT). I was introduced to this music in part by being sampled Daryl Anger , both as a solo artist and as part of the Turtle Island String Quartet (check the Windham Hill Records compilation of this group)- coincidentally picked the Kronos Quartet's version of Purple Haze this afternoon, for my next Thursday night radio show.

Personally I don't hear this as "tribute", rather serious musicians tackling compositions and arrangements by modern composers, as opposed to Mozart of Bruch.
